I wonder if a plugin could be developed that would enable books in the Mobi format to take advantage of the new bold slider. Looks like I'm going to be left with a number of books that this would apply to, and the Booklerly font with just a little boldness makes a big difference in reading pleasure.

The bold slider is never going to work with Mobi and no plugin can help.

Convert these Mobi eBooks to KF8 and the bold slider will work. Mobi is obsolete and has had it. Give it up. If you are emailing and that's why you have Mobi, stop it. If you are converting to Mobi, stop it. If you have Mobi because that's what you downloaded from Amazon, try again in case any of those eBooks have been updated to to include KF8. If you still get Mobi, convert to KF8 on send to your Kindle via Calibre.

Last updated on October 12th, 2017 Yesterday when Amazon announced the new 7″ Kindle Oasis, the press release also mentioned a software update for current Kindles to add some of the new features that are going to be available on the 2nd gen Oasis.

The new firmware version is 5.8.11 and it’s available for all Kindles from the Paperwhite 2 and newer.

That includes the current and previous $79 entry-level Kindles, the Kindle Voyage, the 1st gen Kindle Oasis, and of course the Paperwhite 2 and 3.

The update adds three new features. There’s a bold control with 5 levels of bold settings that work with all included font types, they added more font sizes (14 total), and now in-book search results show chapter headings within results.

The boldness slider only works if the book is in AZW3 format, and only, apparently, if the book arrives from Amazon already in that format. If you get a book in Mobi format from whatever source and convert it to AZW3 in Calibre, it does not produce the boldness option.

I use the tag "_read" when I've finished reading a book. At any time I have many series on the go and I would like to be able to search for the first unread book in each of the series of which I have read at least one book.

No need for a brand new plug-in. The Multi-Column Search (MCS) plug-in already can do what you are requesting via its Tab named "SQL Query".

The bold slider works with the included fonts with KFX. Mobi is now even more obsolete then before. So stay away from Mobi.

There is a GUI Tool in Job Spy called "Visualize Metadata" that has an Export to .csv option. The exported .csv has a count by each value for each metadata value for a single metadata column (author, etc.). It does not export a count for all metadata column counts all at once. Its purpose is to "visualize" a single metadata column's top 50 values via a Pie Chart, and export all values (not just the top 50) to a .csv for use in a spreadsheet or other tool.

I keep adding and removing Job Spy because I always have something go wrong when I use it. I will try it again.
